One year ago today...I woke up to sunshine after two weeks of rain.I was pampered and primped and dressed in white.I was filled with butterflies and spilling over with excitement.I was grateful for where I came from and where I was going.I looked at my best friend - and in the blink of an eye - he became my husband.I saw smiling faces and heard cheers and applaud.I opened a small box to the surprise of beautiful Monarch butterflies.I ate cotton candy and enjoyed the company of close family and friends.I sang a song to my new husband and one to my wonderful dad.I tried to soak it all in and remember every detail.I cut and ate delicious lemon cake with raspberry filling.I never got around to tossing my bouquet, which was okay with me.I felt tiny raindrops that came at just the right moment.I held his hand as we ran through bubbles and cheers of congratulations to our getaway car.I waved goodbye through the rain covered window and laughed at the kids chasing after us.I drove away with him feeling blessed and loved and pure awe for what had just taken place.
